Immobilizer

[BOOTLEG]

I did open it and it was UGLY! It was so bad I just assumed it could not possibly have worked. But, after reading your post, I realized my rear truck latch had worked and my top goes up and down. I had assumed these functions were outside the control of the IM, but now am eager to reconnect and try.

Do you know if my air bags will trigger with the seats out and the IM installed with the key on?

I'm thinking that "Yes" means that it will trigger a fault and your SRS module will require a reset, not that your airbags will explode. I bet that your SRS module already needs to be reset.

I'm pretty sure that I have powered it up without seats, but then again, I may have had them plugged in, but not bolted.

You are correct, I meant that it will force the car to code for an airbag fault.

I was able to start mine up WITH NO SEATS IN after a motor swap and it cranked right up. Got lots of error codes but was able to clear them all. But I also am no expert. Get a second opinion...listen to JFP !!
